WORCESTER 
A 20-year-old city man stabbed twice in the neck at a house party on Sherbrook Avenue Saturday morning remained hospitalized on life support tonight, police said.

No arrests had been made in the stabbing as of tonight. Police have not released the name of the man, who suffered severe stab wounds to the neck during a fight Saturday morning at 35 Sherbook Ave., which was the site of a house party, police said.

Police got a report of a large fight and stabbing at 35 Sherbrook Ave. about 1:20 a.m. Saturday and were told that a victim had been taken to an area hospital. The man arrived at UMass Memorial Medical Center — University Campus with two stab wounds to the neck, police said.

The 20-year-old was rushed into surgery. His condition Sunday morning was given as critical.

Detectives learned that Marc R. Aldana, 20, of 205 Salisbury St., threw a house party at the Sherbrook Avenue location. There were roughly 25 people at the drinking party, many of them under 21, police said. It appears marijuana was also available at the party.

Sonia Siqueira, who owns the house, was on the front porch shortly after 5 p.m. Sunday, waiting for her lawyer to come. The porch was stained with droplets of blood, which trailed down the uneven wooden front steps and were smeared on the sidewalk in front of the house.

The single-family, 1930s bungalow-style home is located in a neighborhood of older, closely built homes on Sherbrook Avenue, off Lake Avenue.

Mrs. Siqueira said she had rented the house to one tenant, and has since learned that at least four other people were living there as well. She said the police said no one can live at the house, and she was working with her lawyer to evict the tenant and the others living there.

“My house is destroyed,” Mrs. Siqueira said. “I heard about this yesterday and just came over here. This is terrible, this is all destroyed.”

Inside, couch cushions were upended; curtains still attached to their rod lay across the top of the couch. Blood stained the kitchen floor, and in the corner, a large white teddy bear's stuffing spilled from a vertical slash on its stomach. Beer cans, cigarette boxes, ash and shattered glass covered the floors throughout the house. Plastic sheeting covered some broken windows.

“Now, after my house is broken, I want to kick all of these people out,” Mrs. Siquiera said.

A man who identified himself as the tenant who had a signed lease agreement with Mrs. Siqueira, but who declined to give his name, said the victim was his friend and he has known him for two years. He said his friend is on life support.

“This kid just walked up to him, shook hands with him and stabbed him in the neck,” the tenant said, pointing to a spot near the kitchen table where the attack allegedly occurred. An empty cardboard Budweiser case was on the kitchen table. The tenant said the man who stabbed his friend had been invited by another guest at the party.

The tenant said there were about 15 people at the party, and there was “just liquor and marijuana” there as well.

“The police came in and were looking for drugs. They used a knife to open up the teddy bear,” the tenant said, pointing to the bear among the debris on the floor.

Police said the 20-year-old victim was stabbed during an argument. Partygoers then left the home.

Mr. Aldana was arrested at the hospital for disturbing the peace. Detectives continue to investigate and search for evidence in the stabbing.

Additional police resources will be placed in that neighborhood to determine if this stabbing was an isolated event or the beginning of other issues in the area. The chief has consistently spoken about the dangers of after-hours or house parties, noting that many have been the scenes of shootings, stabbings and other dangerous attacks. “This is another example of when you have these large parties with underage drinking that an incident can quickly escalate,” Chief Gemme said.
